In high school, Dominick built the world's first "Arduino Pneumatic Flight Simulator".
The Flight Simulator allows one to experience being a pilot in an airplane cockpit by
using a fully controllable PID motion platform. It was featured by Instructables and various other sources.

Won 1st Place in HackMizzou 2014

Dominick and his team of 7 colleagues won the HackMizzou 2014 Hackathon, one of the highlights in Major League Hacking.
A miraculous event, Dominick spent 3 continuous days in Missouri University working with his team to create an impressive robot assistant that
can be controlled by any mobile phone and/or Leap Motion controller. After numerous hours of work, thousand lines of code, and a "cramp-near-Walmart" at 2am in the morning, Dominick was able to
obtain all the parts (just enough) to finish the robot and run it successfully. His team won first place (out of 52 teams total).
For more information, feel free to look at the Missourian Newspaper.

Dominick led a team of three in participating in the SvStrut (Silicon Valley) computer competition, which mainly
evaluates the skills of students in areas of computer and networking expertise. His team ultimately won the silver medal.

Top of the class (Cisco Networking 2011-13)

Dominick demonstrated exceptional skills in Cisco Networking class during his junior and senior years in high school.
He received his Cisco certification in 2014 and took pride in helping his school acquire and get acquainted with 3D printing technology.
He spoke to students and parents across other middle schools and high schools in CV school district to advocate for
Computer Information Technology courses. He designed course websites for several teachers and helped
maintain a local area network (LAN) of over 700 computers.

Most Promising Student

Dominick was unanimously voted "Most Likely to Succeed" by 700 senior students. His LifeBeam Flight Simulator project was highly honored
by school district and he received the "Foundation Prize in Engineering". His project also won an award on the online Instructables competition. He is remembered by staff and students
as an sincere and persevering inventor.

Created AcPaFi

In May 2013, Dominick built a free web service for the citizens of Alameda County. His web interface, ACPAFI (Alameda County Path Finder), is a versatile 4-in-1 application which serves as a digital pocket guide for citizens in Alameda. ACPAFI is featured on the official Alameda County Website to help inform
visitors of the county's resources and contact information.

Founded Kleidoma

Kleidoma was initially made when avid inventor and programmer Dominick Lee arrived at Purdue university. Due to the inconvenience of carrying and using keys to lock and unlock the door, he wanted to create a SmartLock solution – but not just any solution – a solution that must be installation-free, rechargeable, and work with more than just a smartphone. After spending several months developing numerous prototypes and hundreds of test-builds, the Kleidoma SmartLock was born. Meanwhile, he worked with some talented individuals to refine this project into a great product that would allow us to turn any door into a SmartLock in seconds.
